14 vinyl pressings of Harmony are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1993 and 2019.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in Italy, UK, Belgium, France and more. One of them is Paradise Project Records PPR 025.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PPR 025, ucrt 20, TC 1993, ucrtrdj 20) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PPR 025 A IL PESCE AVEVA ABOCCATO.... and PPR 025 B IL POLLO FU FRITTO.... Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
